Re: Poll:Top speed in your MX-3?

Post by killerpickle »

umm, correct me if Im wrong, but isn't there a set theoretical limit for top speed with the gear ratio? Say 201 km/h? At fuel cut off, combined with the gear ratio which doesn't change with mods... or was the speed in the specs not reported for fuel cut off, does anyone know the formula to figure out top speed with rpms and gear ratios?

Hmm, I only got to 110MPH, but I was afraid of getting busted by the fuzz. I will have to try it again to get an accurate reading for TOP speed.

I've hit 171 km/h (107 mph) with my 93 RS. I think I can go a little faster since my windows were open and the accelaration wasn't completely over.

~113mph for me. i was chasing a corvette and a camaro down the highway, and repeatedly hit 110-and above. i wasn't really paying attention. neither of the other cars could put any distance on me...that was great. i'm sure they were wondering what that black car that was following them was... :D

Ive had my 94 RS up to 110. I started to run out of straight road so I let off. Plus I have bad tires. Maybe one of these days I'll see how high I can get it.
